How to Make Clear Vinyl Zipper Bag. Easy Clear Vinyl Zipper Pouch Free Sewing Tutorial.

 Supplies:
- A piece of printed fabric, 22 x 46 cm;
- A piece of thick, transparent plastic, 15 x 22 cm;
- A piece of "cloud" batting (soft, lofty batting), 21 x 21 cm;
- A strip of matching dark-colored fabric, 6 x 36 cm;
- A 25 cm zipper (without end stops);
- 50 cm of trim/braid.

Instructions:
1. Fold over 1 cm along both short edges of the rectangle. Adhere the batting using "505" temporary adhesive spray.
Fold the fabric over. Insert the transparent plastic and stitch in place using a long stitch length. (see photo 1)

 2. Quilt using a decorative stitch. Stitch the trim onto the plastic—and, on the opposite side, onto the fabric—using long stitches. Fold as shown in photo 2.

 3. Position the zipper along the edge of each strip of trim.  

Since it is longer than the trim, you can open it to make stitching easier. Use long stitches along each side of the pouch to close it.  

Trim the excess, place the binding over the raw edge, and stitch as shown in photo 4.
